Hi,

I am running FreeBSD-current with a kernel of this morning, if this is 
relevant. I have compiled a program, copied it with cp to another directory
and executed it from there. Then I changed the source, compiled it again and
when I tried to copy it, I got the "cp: /users/jhay/bin/u2d: Text file busy"
message. But the program is not running anymore. I have waited a few minutes,
thinking that there is some cache that have to timeout, but it did not help.

Now it isn't the end of the world for me, I can just delete the file before
I copy the new one or use install. 

I would just like to know if this is expected behaviour or not?
